In the Garden....

....this is my garden....well it once was....We sold our farm and now my garden belongs to some-one else. But while it was mine I had a lot of fun in it. We bought our farm, large patch of dirt really, with no house and no garden. While my husband turned the patch of dirt into a farm, I turned the house he built me into a home and the area surrounding into a lovely garden. The garden was home to over 300 rose, mostly David Austin's and when they were in bloom it was a sight to behold.

How could you stand of selling it? I understand that it was a lot of works but it looks like a patch of Heaven. It is as exquisite as anything you do. You make me feel very humble and yet very happy that I have virtually met you.

I never look back with regret on any property/house/farm etc..that we have bought and sold! I don't have a new garden yet, but we are working on a new project. I firmly believe that when on door closes another opens....!!

Linda, a little patch of heaven here on earth! You really have a green thumb! I have several roses in my garden, but they're not as glorious as yours . . . hopefully one day! Perhaps I need more fertilizer! LOL!!

Hi Linda, I agree with you completely.If you can create that heaven, you can create heaven anywhere right? But I will have loads of problems parting with that. What a glorious way to wake up to every morning, that garden of Eden.

Linda, That garden is spectacular; the roses out of this world. How gorgeous. It is great that you still have pictures of what you and your husband created in the garden. Now you are creating beautiful things in your dollhouse and many of us are enjoying your work!!

It must have been so wonderful to have all those roses and so much work. Roses do take such special care. Spectacular photos, your garden was lovely. I've been spending so much time in our garden, I've fallen in love with sedums, and other miniature ground covers. I really find it hard to be inside this time of year, I know it must be colder for you now. It is so nice you can express your love for flowers in your miniatures.

I have a passion for all things French. I would like this blog to reflect my love of Paris, it's architecture, gardens and way of life. This has been the inspiration for travel, love of interior decorating and last but not least my fascination with miniatures.
